H1B Transfer from CPT

[Siddarth16]

I am currently in CPT with an approved H1B that is set to start from October 2013. I am working in CPT and I have pay stubs (in CPT). I have found another employment opportunity and my current employer is willling to allow me to transfer. I wanted to know the following:

1) Do I need pay stubs (in H1B) for my transfer? If yes, then how many pay stubs (H1B) do I need in order to make a successful transfer?

2) Can I start my transfer with CPT pay stubs itself?

CPT? Which Univ is this and is the job related to what you studied?

You can transfer your H1 at anytime after the approval.

I hope you are not abusing your CPT program.

@omshiv - the new employment and the current one are related to the ones I have studied

 

@rahul 412 - the question is whether is it safer to transfer with pay stubs generated while in H1B or with pay stubs generated while in CPT itself. By the way, I am not abusing my CPT. It is just that I have got a break and I want to pursue the new opportunity

Either on is fine. All they want is to make sure that your current status is legal.

 

So, what's the name of your university??

***. But why do you ask?

***. But why do you ask?

Because most use of CPT is abuse.

And CPT is NOT for "work related to your studies." CPT is ONLY for work as integral part of the curriculum.

It seems you didn't even finish the degree.

He's just curious...so am I :)

[Siddarth16]

Will my status get converted from F1 (CPT) to H1B automatically?

If you go through the forum their are posts which clearly indicates that one of the schools  is abusing CPT program though its accredited. So just wanna make sure that you are not from that university. Anyhow school name was masked out by the admin in your post.

You have file for COS if in case you didn't.

[Siddarth16]

How will one get COS...is COS noting but the receipt of i-94?

Is COS obtained via an I-94?
